The portfolio should consist of high-quality images of 10 pieces of work minimum. The media of the work represented is optional, but it is to the advantage of the applicant to include work representing several of (but not necessarily limited to) the following media: drawing, digital media, painting, photography, print media, and sculpture/installation. Applicants should choose media that best reflect their highest conceptual and technical development level. While there is no requirement that any particular subject or style of work be included in the portfolio, the faculty admissions committee would like to see a selection of work that has been made both independently and in school and that reflects the applicant's creative interests at this point. Cropped images will not be accepted. Please show the work in its entirety for your documentation. Do not submit a description of your work in the uploaded work file. Please save the image description for slideroom. We recommend no more than 50 word count.
